Walt Disney World has introduced a series of price increases across its food and beverage offerings today, including a notable rise in the cost of refillable mugs and popular park snacks.

The popular refillable mugs at Disney Resort hotels, which offer unlimited refills at self-service stations across the resorts during the length of your stay, are now priced at $22.99, up from $21.99. The last price increase on refillable mugs was in October 2022.

Snack Price Increases

Disney World has also implemented price hikes on several food and beverage items across the parks and resorts. Here's a snapshot of some of the most common items that have seen a rise in price:

  • Fountain beverages: Up $0.30
  • Coca-Cola bottled beverages: Up $0.25
  • Dasani water: Up $0.25
  • smartwater: Up $0.25
  • Powerade: Up $0.25
  • Mickey Pretzels: Increased by $0.20 to $0.25, depending on location
  • Churros: Up $0.20
  • Assorted chips: Up $0.30
  • Freshly brewed Joffrey's Coffee: Up $0.50

Rising Costs for Disney Guests

These price adjustments come as part of a broader trend of rising costs at Walt Disney World, including increases in annual pass prices, park tickets, restaurants, and snacks.

While these price changes may seem small, they add up over the course of a vacation, especially for families. Be sure to plan accordingly for any increases when budgeting for a trip.

It’s about time! The quality has definitely outweighed the amount they charge am I right? Hello? Is this thing on?

Increasing prices across the board will help make up for all the people no longer traveling to The Walt Disney World Resort because those people believe it is far too expensive.
Meanwhile at USO you’ll be able to get a deluxe equivalent hotel room at Epic for around half the price of a Disney deluxe.

If you want to see how a great company slowly dies, look at Disney.
So the wife and I go to the Chrystal Palace for breakfast what a bargain $104 dollars to start the day on top of paying just to get in the park----Disney you have lost your freakin mind. They must think we are the goose that laid the golden scrambled egg.
While we aren't seeing a knock on effect 'just yet' on attendance, we must be seeing an income decline on things like Food & Beverage or Merchandise no?

I would hope so --I can't believe people have disposable income they can use to pay these ridiculous prices
I’m just glad Bob has given us the Lightning Lane Premier Pass so we have more time to enjoy the price increases at these fine dining establishments
The ticket section of the Walt Disney World website is down this morning, but USA Today reports an increase in ticket prices for November and December 2025, with Magic Kingdom topping out at $199 on select dates.

Here is what the reported range for one-day, one-park ticket prices are now:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119-$174
EPCOT: $129-$194
Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139-$194
Magic Kingdom: $139*-$199

*Edited the base price for Magic Kingdom from $144 to $139 as USA Today updated the article.
Gotta love that trend line...
These price are ludicrous just to get in the door so you have the privilege of spending even more money on their inflated snack prices, food prices, merchandize prices, special event prices, skip the line prices, park parking prices, bogus deluxe resort prices.
Be quiet, walking money-spewing meat sacks. Just hand over your credit cards and enjoy your magic.

It's been happening since the last half of 2023. The realization started when the summer holidays drastically underperformed. It was confirmed with the slowness of the Christmas holidays.

Food and Beverage has taken a big hit. TS Restaurants that usually weather slowness are really hurting. I know that a lot of PT CMs have had their shifts eliminated and FT CMs who've been bumped down to PT.

Just resuming the trend line that started in 2019. 🤔
